Asus Rampage Extreme (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-284-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1050&name=Asus%20Rampage%20Extreme%20Intel%20X48%20(Soc ket%20775)%20PCI-Express%20DDR3%20Motherboard)
The long awaited wait is now over...well for the UK it is at least...hopefully we shall see it over here in the next week or so
Overclockers.co.uk has listed the Asus Rampage as In Stock...heafty price...after conversion...458.65
This should be one sweet X48/DDR3 board :drool:
Already email Motherboardpro.com to see when they will be getting any in and if they may have a price for it...
Here is a link I found over at XS that someone posted that has a few more updated pics of the whole board plus some ;)...

I dont think I am going to care about price on this board...This is going to be a must have for me...should also be my last upgrade until the new Intels come out...but then again ;)...

Little update from MBP.com
Looks like Asus will have it in one week and then begin shipping out to distributors, so 2 weeks. As soon as we get a price, we will sku it up online.
Looks like we have another 2 weeks before any of the US retailers get it...just gives me enough time to either go bankrupt or design a good bank heist plan...lol...

The setup at [H] is the same setup I have been posting about wanting to get...now it just went from a want to a need :D
I'm interested...just waitin for one to come available ...so I can stop drooling on my keyboard.
I think this is available mostly now. Got mine last wednesday but got stuck in the build. I am only on aircooling and the Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120's backplate is not compatible, unless you modify the backplate to have hole in the middle. Else it will squash a capacitor. :-/

Are you sure there's no way to get around that?
The TRUE not mounting properly, that is.
Oh, sorry guys. Got mine from Singapore. But from OldSkool's post, he sure knows where its in the US.
From XS, 2 shops in the UK...

One thing is sure though, I paid more the US$100 than $432.59 :cry:

Nah, I was just converting the price shown to American dollars. Actually the stores I see pre-listing it so far are around $300+/- which isn't so bad if it's a good clocker.

if it's a good clocker.
That will be the understatement of the year ;)...
And as posted above...MBP will be contacting me when they recieve notice...
And if its around 450.00...just might need your help rd :burn:

lol...I'd love to help you.
One of these boards and an E8600 ...****aaaam 6GHz is going to become much more commonplace for sure. But I really like my QXs so I need to find one that does high FSB to take advantage of this board. :beer:

this should be the wolfdale board to get ;), would almost consider a 300 board, but 400 is def too much

I am curious to see what it can do with a quad...hopefully they might of found a work around for the X48 chipset limit for quads...
Really the price of the board isnt the issue...its the price of the ram that really needs to be paired with it too really make it shine...
The scarest thing on that board is the on fly OCing ability...great for experts with test stations...bad for newbies reaching in there case while the system is on OCing on the fly :eek:
And Ninja...no I havent talked MBP into a payment plan YET :D...

Heres a thread (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=3184146#post3184146) at XS with testing of the LN2
It worked at 640MHz in air-cooling though even used the no good CPU, I achieved FSB700MHz with LN2. (The dual is 694MHz) I just start inspection of the BIOS, so FSB will go up still. x9.5 will be in fun now.
640 Air Cool :attn:

Dayum! 640 air cooled :drool::drool: This board is indeed a monster. I doubt i'll see any DDR3 setups anytime soon. Moving has put a big dent in my pockets :-/

I do believe it is a DDR2 board ;) Nevermind it is DDR3 oops.
And it just keep getting better.

Just got a update from MBP.com
Looks like Asus is finally handing out allocation on these and they will begin shipping out tomorrow. We don't have our cost yet, so as soon as we do, we will post it online. MSRP is $399, so I am not sure how much we will get off that, nor how many pieces we will be getting. But I wanted to send you an update.

Very nice board if you're staying with C2D processors.
I can't wait to see what Asus cooks up for the new i7 (Nehalem)
$419.99 LOL. Some less-than-popular places have had it listed for ~$385 for a couple of days. Thumbs down for 20% "dealer mark up" just cuz :(
Out of stock @ MBP HAHA. What did they get allocated, 2? :D

Thats interesting since Asus is selling the boards for 399.99 to the retailers...
And that was what was left by the time I got it posted...they had more then 2 ;)...
I thought $399 was MSRP? I find it more interesting that they are selling it to retailers (or at least MBP) for that ;)
I have no clue about this place, but it's been listed for days (http://www.3qstore.com/raexd.html) and supposedly they've been able to ship since yesterday.

My bad...that was MSRP...thanks for the link (maybe...just checked reseller rating...seems like they dont have any info on that company at all)...
I am getting kind of BIAS towards MBP.com...just for the simple fact of there customer service...I have yet to deal with a company that has customer support like they do...worth the extra 20.00 or so incase anything does go wrong for me at least :)...
Ross...watch out...I am slowly inching my way back into the game again :D

Ross...watch out...I am slowly inching my way back into the game again :DYeah, like I said, I have no clue about that place, just the price seemed night and day with MBP, so I linked for proof that I've seen it way cheaper ;) $20 or so extra maybe, $40 or so, I might risk it :beer:
I've never bought anything from MBP, but I know some people think their service (re: RMA/return) leaves a little to be desired. That was a while ago though, so maybe they've stepped it up since.
Get back in the game faster and head over to the Benchmark section...especially if you pick up one of the RE's :D Regardless of retail price variations, it's sure to be one of the best C2D boards released :thup:

That was probably when some other people ran it...I havent had one issue with them at all...Collin delt with them also...they even had DFI ship directly to him instead of to GA. then back to cali...he was able to get it overnight since DFI is so close to him...
And that was my plan...my tech station should be here by friday at the latest...got the Seventeam 1000k PSU from OK Wolf today...now all I am missing is the extreme and a 8600 and another X2...not much :beer:
I just ordered a Rampage Extreme from 3qstore.com. I got mine for a great price considering how new it is. It cost me $384.99. It’s the best price I’ve seen yet. I did notice that right after I ordered mine that the price went back up to $399.99. Anyway, I called them back to find out if my mobo would be shipped out today and they told me that it would be on its way to me sometime today. I have never done any business with 3qstore.com before so I hope everything turns out all right.
Slikk
Just to keep you posted, I received my "your order has shipped" email today with my tracking number and all and according to UPS I should have my new Rampage Extreme by the 19th.
